Tricerchi’s Brunello is a blend of fruit from three different vineyards: Vigna del Velo, Vigna del Castello, and Vigna dei Cipressi, with a varying range of exposures. After picking in early October, fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, mostly in steel; maceration is for a total of about 30 days on the skins; after pressing, the wine is aged in large neutral oak barrels for about 30 months. The 2019 is lifted, fresh, and savory in style, with an earthy blend of flowery undergrowth and crushed rocks before giving way to dried strawberries. Fresh acidity enlivens its red fruits and rosy inner florals. Violet and lavender florals linger through the long perfumed finale as a hint of fine tannins tug at the palate. A true triumph, as Tommaso did a fantastic job of maintaining the radiance of the year in this beautiful and expertly balanced Brunello. This is perfect with hearty fare today, but with its long macerations and the classic vintage conditions, it will only improve for the next decade and beyond.
Shipping Policy
Due to the restrictions of many state laws, we only ship wine to those states where direct shipment from a retailer is permitted by law; currently we ship to all states EXCEPT Arkansas, Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Indiana, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Utah.
This list is subject to change without notice. In addition, each state imposes limitations on the amount of wine any particular resident may receive by direct shipment. To ensure that you are able to order wine for direct shipment from our website, please consult the specific state requirements for your state.
Please note that all orders must be placed by persons who are at least 21 years old, and that age verification will be required upon receipt of your wine. No wine will be delivered to obviously intoxicated persons and any person unable to provide age verification will forfeit their right to receive the shipment until identification is produced. In such circumstances, the order may either be held in storage at a local depot of the shipping company until appropriate identification is produced, or shipped back to Biondivino. All associated costs will be the responsibility of and be charged to the customer.
During periods of extreme weather, we recommend postponing your wine shipment via ground services to ensure the safest conditions of your order. Neither Biondivino nor our freight carriers will accept liability for weather-related damage. During business hours, orders are immediately packaged and scheduled for delivery. Orders may not be cancelled once they have been shipped (in the possession of the shipping carrier). A re-routing may be requested by the customer after shipment, but the customer will be responsible for any associated fees charged by the shipping carrier.
